Es kann nicht akzeptiert werden, dass in einem derart gewichtigen Bereich der Krankenbehandlung keine ausreichende empirische Evaluationsforschung durchgeführt wird.» [...] Full article

In der Emotionspsychologie werden religiöse Gefühle zu den kognitiven Emotionen gerechnet. Das Gebet wird als emotionales Bindungsgefühl (lat. religio = Bindung) verstanden, das «von der kindlichen Hingebung bis zur immateriellen Verbundenheit mit dem Absoluten reichen kann».

The analysis of recent scientific publication and our own epidemiological and clinical studies confirm that children with depressive parents present a risk of child psychopathology.This risk includes, but not exclusively, child depression. Factors protecting against this risk have recently been brought to light. In view of the fact that these data seem well-grounded, it would seem advisable to prescribe preventive treatment for the children of parents diagnosed as suffering from a major depressive disorder. Conversely, when depression is diagnosed in children, it would seem justified to look for affective disorders in the parents, in particular in the case of bipolar disorders. Full article

In 20 depressive inpatients semistructured interviews were performed about their attitude towards and their subjective experience of sleep deprivation before, during and after a series of late sleep deprivations. At baseline 55% of the patients were willing to participate in sleep deprivation therapy, at the final interview even 70%. There is no relation between the willingnesss to participate in sleep deprivation or the expectation concerning antidepressive effects of sleep deprivation and the therapeutic outcome (according to HAMD), indicating that psychological factors are of minor importance for sleep deprivation effects. In the course of the sleep deprivation series subjective experience of sleep before sleep deprivation and of getting up for sleep deprivation as well as the physical condition during sleep deprivation did not change, while subjective time course, drive and fatigue during sleep deprivation and the day after sleep deprivation (including fatigue) were experienced more favourably at the end compared to the beginning of the series. In the course of the sleep deprivation nights subjective well-being is worse at 6.00 h compared with 2.30 h. Full article

Based on theory and empirical findings concerning the epidemiology, course, aetiology and therapy of depression, a single-case study of a chronically depressed patient is presented. Earlier the patient had been treated in a medical-psychiatric setting for 3 years without any effect. The plan for treatment was derived from a complex model of the hypothesized conditions, theoretical models, and empirical findings of psychotherapy-research. For the treatment diverse cognitive and behavioral strategies were integrated. The course of a 71⁄2- month-lasting therapy is presented according to the different aspects of the disorder.The results of the treatment and a 1-year follow-up are described and the opportunities and chances in the treatment of chronic depression are critically diseussed in the conclusion.

The term pseudodementia was coined by C. Wernicke to describe an apparent loss of intellectual capability occurring in diverse psychiatric disorders. The concept of dementia has changed since and also the prefix «pseudo» is deemed inadequate when more severe forms of dementia are encountered.Thus a more precise terminology is required. In theory, three groups of combined cognitive and depressive syndromes are discernible: (1.) depression occurring in demented patients; (2.) coincidence of depression and dementia; (3.) (transient) cognitive symptoms occurring in depressive disorder. Only the last group would correspond to the older term «pseudodementia». To illustrate the use of the proposed categories some case reports are included. Of 84 patients examined in the geriatric department of Psychiatric University Hospital, Tübingen, for cognitive deficits, 49% had no cognitive deficits, 14% were demented, 16% showed less severe cognitive impairment, and 21% were diagnosed as depressive and cognitively impaired. Of those with cognitive deficits, 57% were depressed, independently from the severity of cognitive impairment.The findings are discussed with respect to the current literature. Our study suggests that both differential diagnosis of the three groups and prognosis may only be based upon follow-up evaluations. Full article
